straight off a false awakening
in my childhood bedroom

I am in the drop.
the drop happens after
a sinewy Kubrick sequence.

it is a person putting on a glove

"oh, I do still exist"

a self, a scene
I don't know is Perl still here?

Denver is haunted there,
thin air thick with spirits
blink of sleep joins
you the dead fiesta,
these horny ghosts
pass one another in
useless wispy rapture
moaning
in the airport
scampering amid
redeye flier's dreams
passed out back hall
splotchy carpet
under the wild red gaze
of the throbbing blue stallion,
or frozen in the crosswalks
of Aurora they appear
in the weary driver's
blink of sleep:
a mother and child
stepping out in the street.
Denver is haunted there
ghosts eddying in the
alpine mist.
when i was twenty nine
i learned i could go out at night
and bring home poems
instead of women:
at the street corner
where giggling groups pass,
in the residue between
the bricks,
taxi wheels as
grind to a halt,
weird fizz you can't get
bottom of a strong porter
glass
stuck to the side,
slouched over a bar
head thump
bench seat
feet hang off the curb
strong porter
when i was twenty nine
and bring home poems
walking around this weird neighborhood
is it dawn or twilight
the hours don’t match up
an orb in the sky could be
a pin prick sun
or just a globe streetlamp
all blueish black above
a crackle of orange through
the mist on the horizon.
the bulwark of your mechanics
hedge-pledge comes
tumbling out of your uber driver's knife carrot harem pocket,
the old fancy way.

“You want to eat you go to Chicken Cottage”
The man outside barks. It’s cash only, and an attempt is made to beg Brits for a couple pounds.
Luckily there's another, quieter Chicken Cottage, with nobody in it, and this one accepts cards. The fries taste like old grease. The nuggets are the nuggest - held delicately between thumb and fore.
“Let’s find somewhere we can sit outside and eat this.”
The park entrance is at the dead end of a lane in South London.
Tip the water bottle for a swig, pinky stuck in the air.
“We’re in London.”
A smile.
“Can I put my arm around you?”
The flat smells like moth balls. The second thing is the furniture - tasteful and warm. A large window covered by thick venetian slats. Beside it, the olive green chair: a curved danish number, elegant in its size, and with four polished wooden legs in a splay. It is overhung by a two-orb cantilever lamp in rosy metallic.
The ceiling fixture is an open ended cylinder: aurburn in extérieur, reflective copper within. A single Edison bulb within emits a scientific orange glow.
Four eyes examine the dresser - rich wood bisected artistically by veins of inlayed brass, whose thoughtful arrangement is uninterrupted by the breaks between drawers.
The bedspread is a warm white decorated lightly by black embroidery - a band of lace forming a square that speaks of nuzzley sweet interiority.
Two cross-legged people face one another.
“What would that look like?”
A smile.
“That would be nice.”
…
A morning glance between the venetians affords vistas of lush spring foliage and a futuristic peek of London’s iconic “Shard” as cobalt surrenders to dayblue.
Mi is a woman in my dream.
she has a rainbow
face
a small nose
and an electric smile.
I meet Mi
through a mutual friend
who is also cute
but Mi glows
uncontainable.
she’s talking to a woman
with green eyes
behind the bar.
this café is so
typewriter:
young.
the green eyed woman,
olive skinned,
dark gold curls
pulled back,
looks at me.
she tells Mi
“he is cute.”
and they giggle.
when Mi comes back
to my side of the bar
it is to speak to
another guy
who also likes Mi:
everyone likes Mi.
Mi has a rainbow face
a small nose
and an electric smile.
the other guy
starts to ask Mi
“do you want to leave together?”
I catch her eyes
as he asks
and interject.
“Mi, how about, if
instead of that,
we go hang out.”
she says ok,
meet at her place.
the other guy is mad
in fact he curses Mi
he calls her
“a woman who
meets men at bars.”
I tell him not to talk
that way about Mi
and show
him my sword:
long and sharp,
it remains in its black sheath.
he quickly draws his
serrated blade
pressing it
into my flesh.
I will not do battle.
I take the pain,
blood dripping
down.
I set out to find Mi.
on the muddy path
to her house
there is a pyramid.
I stop
suddenly
realizing what great
works I must build.
when I finally arrive
it is on horseback
and
Mi is behind
the desk in my
grandfather’s study.
I open my shirt to
show her
the wound.
Mi stands.
she is bouyant
she greets me
with kaleidoscope sweetness,
a megawatt grin.
exactly the way
I want her.
a friend says
“you need to
find someone who
is a nurse
someone who will
say
‘oh my god, what
happened.’
when they see the blood.”
that was
the last time I saw Mi:
standing behind
the desk
rainbow faced,
small nosed,
electric.

shaded sunny dapple
outskirt eco-home
wife is accomplished
clever
magical
brown locks
she stands magnificent

unbuilding and

saving his screen time
for 8pm
his friends will log on
and Fiona and I will
hold hands
lock eyes
across the
reclaim cherry
and
Fiona fills her diaphragm,
corner smiling at
my helpless love-look
“so..”
she tries to start
desperate eyes
and
that half smile,
my pause palm
moves to her clavicle
“It’s ok Fiona, I know.”
